An engine needs fuel, compression, and spark to go....check those things first. Put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail, then remove a plug and ground it to see if it sparks, lastly, run a compression check on it. make sure the cam is turning as well.

My electronic immobilizer fuse (38) on my 1997 BMW Z3 kept blowing. I kept replacing it but now it won't crank and the fuse isn't blowing.

Fuses shouldn't keep blowing and that was the cue to get it looked at. You either need to get it towed to the dealership, or contact a mobile auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the electronics. This is not the type of issue you can fix yourself unless you spend $3.5k to $5k on a bi-directional scanner.

My 1999 bmw z3 will crank but will not start , code A9 & 44 shows up , air pump keeps running when ignition is on & drains the battery out.engine light & EML light comes on.

Not sure on this one.....if it's "drive by wire" that means the accelerator pedal is connected to the intake electronically, and that may be where the A9 code comes from. Saturns are drive by wire and it's a common failure point for them. spark, compression and gas is all you need for the engine to run. you can put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail to determine fuel, assume that the compression is good, and pull a spark plug and ground it while cranking to see if gets a spark...

Bmw z3 1999 will not crank

The problem sounds like the battery has run down. Even though the ignition is off, things like clocks and the radio draw small amounts of power to retain their settings, and the instrument cluster doesn't draw as much power as the starter. It usually takes about a month or so to drain the battery. Try jump starting the car, or put it on a battery charger for a while.

I HAVE A 1999 BMW Z3 ROADSTER. IT HAS A HALF TANK OF GAS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE FUEL PUMP IS ON WHEN YOU OPEN THE IGNITION. WHEN I TRY TO START IT, IT CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START. WHAT ELSE COULD BE THE...

if you can heard the fuel pump noise and sure that you have enough fuel, then it may be you have a problem with ignition system or faulty crankshaft sensor.
